Here's a pic of Scot showing Timmy how to find a stud:

Growth

We decided recently to measure Timmy again cause it had been since October since we had measured him to see how much he had grown. Check this out:

The 1st one was done in April, then October, and then January.

New Year's Day

On New Year's Day we had to take down all the Christmas stuff and it made Timmy very sad:

New Year's Eve

Timmy just couldn't hang on New Year's Eve! He fell asleep before midnight but he sure did try to stay up.

We have cows and baby cows next door now

Timmy loves when there's any kind of fix it stuff that needs to be done. He likes to be right there watching it all. Here's a pic of him watching as his Daddy and Popsie do a repair on one of our bathrooms. Daddy is under the house.

Tim's 2025 Accomplishments!

Tim had a huge year in 2025, moving through three weight classes. He began in the 61 kg division and finished in the 71 kg division, with the June weight category update shifting the weight classes. Despite all the transitions, Tim made tremendous progress. He earned 4 Gold Medals, 4 Silver Medals (6 Silver finishes) & 3 Bronze Medals (4 Bronze finishes) - which were his 1st USA National Level Medals. To top all that off he is the record holder for the snatch & total in the Youth 71kg division for WSO Carolinas. A standout year filled with growth, experience, and momentum for Tim.

Heaven Gained a Hero Aug. 16, 1935 to May 16, 2024 - 88 years old

It's hard to forget someone who gave us so much to remember. Pop (Franklin Eugene Neal) was born in Ashland, KY. He graduated Thomas R. Brown High School and was a proud Army National Guard Veteran. He loved cars and working on them. He loved racing them with his boys, Jeff and Scot. He could fix just about anything. If he didn't have a tool for something then he'd make it. He valued family above everything. He loved traveling and going to amusement parks with his kids and grandkids, especially Disney World. He will forever be missed and forever be in our hearts! (this is not his official Obit)

A devoted member of Faith Christian Assembly, Doris cherished homemaking, gardening, floral arranging, crocheting, and reading.
